Lowell Jimmy Fox

North Salt Lake Utah – Lowell Jimmy Fox, age 82, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 26, 2019 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. He was born May 30, 1936 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Alice (Caldwell) and Lowell J. Fox.  He married Judy Ambrose on June 7, 1963 in the Salt Lake City Temple. He was a graduate of South High School, and attended the University of Utah.  He was the owner of Fox Valley Leathers and served his country in the Army Reserves from 1956 to 1966.  He was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and had the opportunity to serve 4 missions, 2 of which were with his wife Judy.  Jim also served as bishopric counselor, ward mission leader and stake mission leader but he truly loved working with the youth and young adults as an advisor and then as bishop of the Orchard 14th Young Adult ward. Jim loved people and expressed his love through his service. He always made time for his children and especially his grandchildren whom he loved so deeply.  He made everyone feel loved and welcome even in his late stages of Alzheimer’s.

He is survived by his wife Judith Rae (Ambrose), 3 children Shana (Dale) Christensen, Chad (Hagie) Fox, Julie (Mark) Garaycochea, 10 grandchildren and 7 siblings Joan, David, Elaine, Kay, Diane, Susan, Kenny. He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother Roger Fox.
